From commercial pilot to winemaker. Not a very typical career change. Ronda Wood, Owner & Winemaker at Wood Family Vineyards has lived a full life and there is lots more ahead of her. She still flys, but winemaking is the soul of her family. As we near the end of our 2024 tour of Livermore Valley wineries, Rhonda was so much fun to talk to. Forgive me for spending so much time on flying. I am, after all, a boy at heart.

The joy of seeking out wineries in Livermore Valley is that you can go from the hugest facility to the smallest and most intimate spaces and all make you feel at home. Charles R Vineyards tasting room has a remote feeling while within 15 minutes of anywhere in the Valley. Lisa Lee is Winemaker with a serious background in the business complimented by a clever sense of humor. We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze while managing to laugh at every opportunity.
